I’ve posted this here and there before. Deal with it.
Antiques Road Show

Check it out, you bastards.
BMG’s Art of The Album series presents a unique insight into the making of a seminal album.

Holy Shit, This Game Looks Good
I returned to console gaming last year after acquiring my son’s never-used PS4. I’m pretty picky about what I play, but I quickly realized that anything Naughty Dog releases will be top notch. I bought The Last of Us Remastered at Target on a whim and I couldn’t put it down. After that, it was The Last of Us: Left Behind, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and then Uncharted: The Lost Legacy.
Rumor has is that The Last of Us Part II is coming sometime next year.
Can’t. Wait.

Dock Ellis & The LSD No-No
On June 12, 1970, Dock Ellis threw a no-hitter for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 136 years of baseball history, only 276 no-hitters have been recorded. Dock is the only pitcher to ever claim he accomplished his while high on LSD.
More Brains …
Okay, let’s see if this works.
Anybody a fan of Return of the Living Dead?
UPDATE: This is an experimental server upload of a documentary about the film.
The Bishop
I love how he tries to rescue only priests. At the end is a good poke at the BBC, who in 70’s-80’s had a fetish for earnest, depressing documentaries. Maybe they still do, I haven’t been over there in a while.
CNR
Weird Al Yankovic’s tribute to both Charles Nelson Reilly and The White Stripes. With a little help from Jib Jab.
The “5th Ramone” Speaks
Great interview with Monte Melnick on the Please Kill Me blargh. If you don’t feel like reading the whole thing, here’s the best part.
PKM: There’s a great story in your book that takes place in a Texas gas station.
Monte A. Melnick: My favorite story. This was early on. We were driving through rural Texas, driving five or six hours, and we pulled into a gas station to get some gas, and there was a little store there too, so they all pile out of the van, looking like zombies. They were staggering around because they were seven hours in the van. So they’re in the store looking at stuff, and I come in to pay for the gas and the lady says “It’s sure nice of you to take care of these retarded boys.”
